Matthew 20:16

20:16 So the last will be first, and the first last.”

Matthew 22:15

Paying Taxes to Caesar

22:15 Then the Pharisees ³  went out and planned together to entrap him with his own words. ⁴ 

¹ tn Here again the Hebrew has “at the mouth of,” meaning in accordance with what the Lord said. So also in v. 51.

² tn The total is a rounded off number; it does not duplicate the precise total of 22,300. Some modern scholars try to explain it by positing an error in v. 28, suggesting that “six” should be read as “three” (שֵׁשׁ [shesh] as שָׁלֹשׁ [shalosh]).

³ sn See the note on Pharisees in 3:7.

⁴ tn Grk “trap him in word.”
